CERCOPAN’s two education and primate rehabilitation centres are the focal points for the organization. One is located in Calabar (since 1995) and the other in Rhoko near Iko Esai (since 2003). Over 100 primates have been donated or rescued whose parents have been killed for illegal bush meat consumption. Iko Esai is actively conserving approximately 12,000 hectares of community rainforest, including 400 hectares of core protected land within the Akamkpa Local Government Area (LGA) adjacent to Cross River National Park.

CERCOPAN involves communities in managing their forests to protect wildlife and habitat. Iko Esai has agreed to a community-wide ban on hunting of all primates.CERCOPAN is also involved in student projects at the research centre at Rhoko Camp, including international research projects.

Community members are employed in patrolling habitat areas to protect animals such as monkeys, pangolins and forest elephants from poachers, who unhindered would leave the forests empty.

Zena Tooze, who Founded CERCOPAN in 1995, is a good friend of NWHS and all wildlife.

This Project is truly worthy of support. Imagine building an organization in the remote rainforests of Nigeria, conducting conservation research, rescue and sanctuary for wildlife (primarily primates). It can be difficult, to say the least.

It will take anywhere from 3 seconds to 1 minute for your pic to upload, depending on how big it is.

You're going to see this message every time you post a new pic. So, we're making the text really long so that it'll take you at least five picture uploads to read it all. Here's what we're thinking...While your first picture is uploading think about someone you want to kiss. When you upload your second pic think about one friend who you can beat in a race. On your third photo upload think about your favorite food that begins with the letter H. While your fourth picture is uploading think about how great it would be if you were a world class breakdancer. While your fifth picture is uploading try to think of the best candy to eat if you were a mime spending a month in New Zealand. If you upload a sixth and seventh picture please just read all of this again.
